Hello ! I'ld like to make a Kanji tattoo with my life's guiding though, which is "Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.” (said by a British writer Victoria Holt/Eleanor Hibbert)
Could somebody please translate this quote for me? Or make that long sentence into two parts : "Never regret/No regrets" and "Everything good is wonderful, everything bad is an experience"
Thank you for your help !

I think it is better to make the translation a short one, since it will be used as a tatoo.

“生活无悔”也可以换成“生活无憾”。
我觉得，要更有诗意一点的话也可以翻译成：
生活无悔。得之我幸，不得我命。
（“得之我幸，不得我命。”出自徐志摩的诗句。也有一些人略做修改，将其改为：得之我幸，失之我命。）
虽然experience译成“命”略显不妥，但意思还是比较贴近。
我的两个版本供您参考，希望对您有帮助。

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your time, but the other answer was shorter and therefore more suitable for a tattoo. |
